Techout.com Expands With Virtual Appliance

Techout.com, Inc. has announced the launch of its Virtual Web Monitoring Appliance, a dedicated solution that ensures an organization’s key internal and external web applications, — URLs, business transactions and SOAP web services — run as intended using 24/7 automated monitoring and troubleshooting. Techout.com is leveraging rPath’s rBuilder® and the rPath® Appliance Platform to assist businesses in minimizing slowdowns and outages of internal mission-critical web-based applications by identifying performance issues and aiding in their resolution.

According to Techout.com founder and Chief Technology Officer John D’Esposito, using virtual technology speeds users’ ability to install and deploy the appliance. Says D’Esposito,“Today’s virtual appliance technology eliminates long, complex, and often expensive installation and configuration cycles for customers. Because our virtual monitoring solution is pre-built, pre-configured, and ready-to-run inside a virtual machine, customers on a variety of platforms will find it eliminates the downsides of traditional software installation and maintenance. Collaborating with rPath enables us to reduce costs, streamline deployments, and provide the highest quality products and services to Technet customers.”

Techout.com’s Virtual Web Monitoring Appliance uses the company’s patent-pending Variable Simultaneous Angulation (VSA) technology to continuously monitor the responsiveness of a company’s internal and external web applications. This embedded VSA technology offers unparalleled accuracy in detecting and identifying problems, using the industry’s first cluster member failure detection — one of the most difficult types of failures to detect.

The Virtual Web Monitoring Appliance was developed in partnership with rPath, the first provider of a platform that transforms applications into virtual appliances. Together, rPath’s rBuilder and the rPath Appliance Platform are enabling Techout.com to consistently deliver its remotely-deployed and sophisticated web monitoring platform, while reducing maintenance costs and providing best-in-class service to its worldwide customers.

“Virtual appliances are the new de-facto application architecture for delivering applications to customers on premise, or on-demand,” said Billy Marshall, founder and CEO of rPath. “Virtual appliances created with rPath’s technology have already enabled hundreds of leading application providers like Techout.com to expand into new markets, open new channels of distribution and reduce development costs"
